    This replaced my old Onkyo TX-NR515 that died on me and is night a day better in every way! Highly recommended for anyone looking for a nice 7.2 or Dolby Atmos receiver.

    This is the third Onkyo Reciever I have owned and the best by far. It connects to my Bose Surround and Samsung TV with ease. Sound quality is great. You feel like you are at the movies. I love the 2nd zone as we have speakers on our back porch and this allows you to listen to music outside and someone can watch TV inside at the same time and have separate volume control. It has multiple HDMI ports and allows one line out to the TV for gaming and DVD.

    I was very happy with my decision to go back to a component system after years of soundbars and bluetooth speakers. This receiver does it all. The only way I could be more satisfied is if it brought me the remote and grabbed my snacks for me.

    I had to get a 4k receiver to go with my 4k TV and I have to say, especially when using the PS5's 3D audio, it sounds incredible. My last 3 receivers have all been Onkyo and I only got new ones to handle newer technology I found myself wanting/needing. They have all been fantastic but this one is the best so far!

    It has been 30 years since I wired a receiver, and receivers have certainly changed! Yeah I am old! I wired 3 Klipsch speakers, and a subwoofer, plus a Sony TV an an Apple TV streaming box. Once a plugged everything in, I followed the set up instructions. Voila! worked the first time. Sound and picture is great. Highly recommend

    I purchased this Onkyo receiver base upon my past knowledge and experience with this particular brand. I was disappointed as, in my opinion, the quality was not up to par from past experiences. I had to turn the volume dial up past the 50% mark before I would hear any sound. Setup was easy and very intuitive, but the overall sound quality was a showstopper.

    I upgraded my Onkyo TX-SR608 and this was a breeze to support ARC and 4K. Simple setup, great sound with home theater system. I have not optimized for music yet, so my thoughts on its music ability are a bit mixed. I have paired with 6 Klipsch Quintets plus center and sub. Star Wars 4k sounds ridiculously crisp. I haven't found a setting for music that I like yet. I had this problem with my previous Onkyo until I played with the settings a lot. So I'm dropping my ease of use here as it really takes some poking around to tune it to music.

    Onkyo has finally caught and surpass Sony's excellent STR 1080 AV receiver. Deliver similar boom but Onkyo is just tad big more refine with the latest features. Is it it better than a Denon IC 3000 or better series? No but it's close, mid tone lacks a bit, can sound a bit harsh when compared to Denon, but Denon IC more less for music lovers with a keen ear to hearing mid tones. To conclude if you're in the market for good home theater AVR without breaking the bank look no further than this masterpiece.

    Fantastic stereo receiver. Great functionality at a reasonable price. The only glitch I have seen is that sometimes I have to remove the device from Bluetooth settings on my mobile device and re-add it in order to reconnect. It doesn't happen often and I'm really not sure if that's an issue with my mobile device or not. Easy to work around the few times I have experienced the issue. Setup was a breeze.

    I love this receiver, I had on older onkyo that I have had for 15 years and is still working, so I thought that I need to upgrade to the latest receivers to take advantage of the 4k pass thru and I decided to stay with onkyo since I've had good results with them. Let me tell you the power this thing puts out is an understatement, it makes the bass from my subwoofer sound so clean and authoritive. I have to rewatch my blurays to see what I was missing in bass, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
